Hey all, I'm not sure if many of you will remember who I am. I've been out of the miniature horse world for a few years, but my past experience is telling me I can get some of the best advice here on the board. That being said, I would love some advice regarding the cross roads I'm at in my...

Hi all. I was wondering if someone could direct me as to where I can obtain a big ole' bucket of Sand Clear.

Hey guys. So recently, a friend of mine on face book told me to be a little bit more open minded and look into the Shetlands and not just the miniatures. So Ive been researching some lately and like the classic version best, but I don't really see the difference between the two other than the...

Well hello forum family. My mare, Polly, is colicking once again. I do not know what could be causing it. She is overweight which may have something to do with it and she doesn't drink much water. I brought her in and she was eating her grain kind of slow but was eating her hay just fine. She...
